A long time ago, the five roles lived together in harmony

Then, everything changed when the autofill attacked.

Only the Fill, master of all 5 roles can stop it, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.

Seriously. I hate having to refresh queue every minute in fear of autofill.

Except they didn't.

You were very often forced off your role a lot. Pick order made people learn/play roles that they weren't comfortable playing. Players were more well rounded then in my opinion. You learned how to play league, not mid/top.

I'm sorry, this is a reality of the game that people need to just make peace with.

In the end you would be a mediocre player in all roles. You would lose to a role specialist if you matched up against them. Low elos it doesn't matter because you just have to be barely competent in all roles. But many high elo players dread the autofilled "X" on their team.

There's absolutely no evidence to suggest that your skill would spread equally across all roles. That's a load of shit. You should have to learn to play League, not learn to play only Riven top.

Im not denying that. But the idea of having a role pick system would be that you get those roles.

But you have to remember it helps save time for the 1% that have to wait to find other players to play with. You know the same people who stream and tab out to play other games waiting for the que to pop.

^ The OP has the revised version, from after the marksman nation won.

The old story is as follows...

A long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago the three archetypes lived in harmony; Tanks would tank casters burst, marksmen would take down tanks with sustained damage, and casters would burst other squishes. But everything changed with the marksmen whined so hard about not being able to burst like a mage they got critical strike. Only the direct counter to RNG 250% burst damage, dodge, could stop it. But when it proved even more problematic than crit, dodge was removed.

You forgot the legend that Mages and assassins once still had cooldowns at rank 5 of their skills and even further they had to choose between Cooldown reduction and more damage on their items.

Anyone who played before dynamic queue is happy to take autofill every once in a while
